If Success Attracts Success 

Then Kingston Wins 

KINGSTON, New York, located on the west bank of the 
Hudson River, 88 miles from New York, is a city possessing 
exceptional advantages for manufacturers and shippers, in all 
lines of trade. 

KINGSTON is a beautiful city— healthful, 
energetic, prosperous, wide awake and up-to-date, 
and it is making a strong bid for civic and indus- 
trial development. 

KINGSTON has shipping facilities over six 
railroads of transcontinental proportions and 
steamboat lines to tidewater. 

KINGSTON is able to provide the manufac- 
turer an abundance of gas and electricity for 
.Jj^ power and lighting at a very reasonable cost. 
Freight rates are reasonable and fuel is cheap. 
The character of labor available and wages paid 
are essential items which every manufacturer 
must consider when seeking a location. 

If your business has reached that point 

where larger quarters and better facilities 

are demanded. KINGSTON offers the 

right solution at the opportune time.

etc., write

? 

V 
HKN ill 1614 the United New Netherlands;^ 

Company built the first of the three ^ 

"forts or redoubts" on the Hudson River, <,»■ 

»*♦ 
one at New York, one at Albany and the A 

third at Kingston, they did not so build v 

at random, but because they were not ♦}. 

only wise in their day and generation ,♦. 

but possessed of a rare prophetic vision, j^ 

.And yet surely they builded even better l> 

tlian they knew. T 

In 1652, Petrus Stuyvesant, who was governor of this*** 

territory, effected the first settlement and selected the site »^ 

for the village which he called "Wiltwyck." It was a set- ^^^ 

tlement of sturdy people who worshiped and honored God, ^^ 

did their duty at all costs and loved their new homes. The ♦> 

records tell us that they suffered in sorrow and tribulation, ^ 

but they were destined to be some of the *♦* 




even in massacre, 

"nation's builders." The troubles between the Dutch and <• 
English are so familiar to every student of American his- A 
tory, that they will easily realize what troublous days those '^ 
were for the people of Wiltwyck. By the treaty of Breda, ; 
made July 1st, 1667, this settlement passed with the rest <!> 
of the Dutch provinces along the Hudson River, into the % 
possession of the English and the first English governor •!• 
changed the name to KINGSTON, in honor of his family.*, 
seat. Under the smile of a propitious fate the people % 
progressed and prospered. Not until their spirit as a ^f ^ 
liberty loving people was violently oppressed did they join *, 
in their indignation with the "minute men of the north," ^ 
to do battle for the independence of their home and the ^ 
land they had learned to love. The citizens of Kingston ♦;» 
were patriots and assumed a leading part in the wars of,., 
the Revolution. As a consequence and in revenge for their ^J^ 
disloyalty to England, their city was burned to the ground ♦ 
by the British under General Vaughn. That was on Octo- ^* 
ber 16th, 1777, and only one house stands today untouched^ 
by British fire, "The one absolutely fire-proof house in ♦ 

.*i Kingston," as some one has said, and which owes its escape.;. 

X to a romance of the time. a

Y men and women of first the little hamlet, then the village * 
*t* and finally the city, have been making for Kingston a his-* 
|, tory that places it in a position as notable in the life of . 
^;^ the State and Nation as its geographical setting. Not alone . 
<♦ in tradition and printed page is this history preserved, but 
,i in substantial homes of stone, one antedating the Revolu- 
y tion, the others built soon after that period; in the old Sen-' 
<♦ ate House, where the first senate of the Empire State was ' 
♦♦. held; in the marvelously beautiful old stone Dutch Re- • 
1^ formed Church, wiiose organization has celebrated its two , 

♦ hundred and fiftieth anniversary; tlie colonial Court House 
<^ and celebrated Kingston Academy of over a hundred years 
y ago; and furthermore in its picturesque streets, shaded by' 
•♦• great trees whose roots first struck soil before the present ' 
♦> century. Kingston's history profoundly interested the not- < 
♦♦, able members of the New York State Historical Society, . 
^I^ which met there in convention in September, 1911. 

i;, Kingston's natural advantages must be seen to be fully . 

'f realized. Lying at the foot of the Catskills, yet not , 

7 

^•> smothered by them, with the peerless Hudson flowing bv its 
*♦* ' 

. doors. Lake Mohonk, the home of the great Peace Confer- 

y ences and the miniature Switzerland of America in sight, ' 

Y and easy of access; and Brown's Station, the scene of the' 
♦:♦ great New York City Reservoir and Aqueduct now in < 
X progres of construction, probably the most wonderful feat , 
'i of engineering in many ways of this day. and approaolied 
<^/ by a remarkably beautiful boulevard, near at hand, Kings- 
*t* ton is blessed above cities. 

♦ 

♦ The West Shore Railroad brings one into tlie heart of 

Y the city; the New York Central touches it through the' 

*♦• agency of the Rhinebeck ferry; the Wallkill Valley R. R. — ' 

•!♦ passing New Paltz, the nearest point to Lake Mohonk — • 

♦*♦ and the Ontario and Western as well as the scenic road, the, 

T Ulster and Delaware, bring to it travellers from the inter- 
•• 

•' ior and western part of the state, through connections with 

-;.> the Erie and other railroads; the magnificent Day Boats 

♦*• 

*^, and the queenly Mary Powell land their passengers at its' 

**" doorway. It would be difficult to imagine a more pivotal ■ 

♦:♦ point for the location of a city. It is also a great auto- . 

,♦, mobiling center witli good state roads radiating in every, 

! direction. 
♦ 

.♦. In addition to the uplift one gains from beautil'iil , 

1 scenery and surroundings, the moral, mental and pleasur- 

♦ able development of its people is well looked after in this 
*t* fine old Colonial town. In addition to the historical old 
•♦* First Reformed Dutch Church already mentioned, there are 
*t* two other Reformed Churches, two Baptist, three Episcopal, 
X two Hebrew, three Lutheran, three Methodist, two colored , 
X Methodist, two Presbyterian, five Roman Catholic and a 
I Christian Science Church, all in a flourishing condition. 



t t 

Y The Masonic and other fraternal organizations seem legion Y 

V in their number. ♦> 
f <i> 
♦*• .*♦ 
,J Educationally, there are two fine academies; one, (the 1, 

*}* grandchild of the old Kingston Academy, graduating such *** 

y men as Governor George Clinton of historic fame, and as ♦ 

.j. such a grandchild showing itself worthy of its parentage) ; »♦♦ 

,1, the other, Ulster Academy, of less historic but highly. J' 
♦ ♦ 

<J creditable standing; and nine excellent graded schools, all ♦ 

<>:■ under the superintendency of an educator of rare gifts. ♦^ 

X Tlien there is a fine and well equipped City Free Library. % 

y Under the head of education might well be mentioned the*?* 
'y ■♦> 

♦ Federation of Women s Clubs, made up of numerous liter- ♦J* 

.*. ary, pliilanthropic and public health organizations, and X 

I maintaining a yearly Lecture Course that presents such !' 

■s> men as Alfred Tennyson Dickens, .Judge Ben Lindsay, etc. -v 
*> »% 

<|> There is also Wiltwyck Chapter, 1). A. R., owning a fine t> 

*f historic chapter house. Nor should the educational value 'j* 

*t* of the active Young Men's Christian Association, with its v 

A building costing about $100,000, and a valiant company of ^^ 

% Boy Scouts be overlooked. Of course, a city of such natural T 
,♦ t 

I advantages is possessed of a fine country club, "The • 
*»* V 

<♦> Twaalfskill," and also a popular Yacht Club. Furthermore *, 

* • •*• 
Z> there is, as a military protection for the war-scared city, *, 

V Company M, Tenth Infantry, N. G. N. Y., housed in a sub-*** 

♦ stantial state armory, while the non-military men may find *l» 
X their places of congregation in either one of the two ex- X 
^ ceptionally well-managed men's clubs. Kingston boasts '^ 

♦ an attractive opera house where the best of theatrical per- ♦> 
♦*♦ «^» 
/;. formances are given, and a Music Hall, where Schumann- I. 

*** Heink, the Kneisel Quartet, and Josef Hofmann have ap- *t* 

•J» peared and wliere local musical talent and organizations •> 

»»» are to be heard. ,♦, 

<•' f 

•♦* The city's institutions should also be mentioned *i^ 

♦t* among its home-attracting assets. There are three modern- ♦;• 
♦;• ly equipped hospitals, one, tlie Tuberculosis Hospital, be- .♦, 
X ing the first County Hospital of its sort in the state; a t 
■^i large sanitarium, an Industrial Home and a Catholic ♦ 

V "1* 

♦ orphanage, showing that the heart of tlie city is thought- ;> 
♦*• ♦ 
,J ful of its unfortunates. V 

*> ♦ 

♦ Poltically, Kingston was the first capitol of New York jn 

*f State, and here the first governor of New York State was in- *j* 
*♦* augurated. The city was incorporated in 1872. *^ 

«^* ♦*♦ 

<j> While all of these things are much to be desired in the .^ 

*♦* life of either the individual or family, they cannot he*** 

*i* realized and supported without up-to-date business activi- ♦;♦ 

.*♦ ties of importance. With its river frontage and its rail- .*^ 

Y road advantages, its shipping potentialities are obvious. It 't 

Y 't* 
••" naturally follows that here are to be found such exten- «> 
♦% «% 
<*. sive concerns as the Cornell Steamboat Company, operating *> 
♦ .*. 



some sixty or seventy tugs, plying the entire length of the 
Hudson River; the round house and yards of the Ulster and 
Delaware Railroad; the West Shore yards; and many large 
manufacturing concerns. Kingston's ninety-odd miles of 
streets are so laid out that It is possible to segregate the 
manufacturing interests near shipping points and yet in 
close proximity to streets where small and attractive homes ^/ 
abound. It is no exaggeration to state that the retail <|> 
commercial life of Kingston is without an equal between *♦• 
New York and Albany and all this business activity is a ♦ 
matter of profound concern to a live and progressive .♦♦ 
Chamber of Commerce. To meet this energetic commer- J,^ 
cialism, the city is provided with five National and three ; 
savings banks; has a main post office in the center and a '. 
branch office at each end of the city, and two live Build- •♦' 

*♦• ing and Loan Associations. The city has the service of both ♦ 

<♦ « 

♦ Western Union and Postal telegraph and unusual tele- .;. 
«*, phone facilities. Two commodious trolley lines traverse X 
^^ the length of the city. Its clear and bracing air as well i 
<f as its high-test water supply coming from the mountains I 
4> mean health and vigor for those who live within its borders, °f 
>^ while the same water supply in the hands of a thoroughly •♦♦ 
♦.♦competent fire fighting organization, reduces the danger .j. 
«♦. from fire to a minimum. Is it, then, any wonder that ^t^ 

X Kingston-on-the-Hudson is a city of attractive homes, both ♦ 

♦ ♦% 

<• large and imposing and smaller and cosy, with three as I 

♦•♦ * 

<» fine hotels perfectly equipped, as can be found anywhere? *f 

•♦• 

z. Who comes to Kingston comes again, and yet again, until ♦.♦ 



he comes to make there his home.
